I used to love mantis in MP (before gaining Widow of course). With cloak dmg boost its could headshot almost everything on silver, and the long reloading didn't really bother me, since i was using bugs and forces to reload gun faster.
But i started my SP infiltrator playthrough, hoping that mantis will be my no1 weapon again. And since it's SP, i tried to refrain from using bugs to sped up reloading. And i have to say, Mantis is incredibly boring this way. If u won't hit head, u have to wait like 3 seconds in cover, and there are so many enemies around. On insanity without proper upgrades and cloak it can't even kill normal mobs in one bodyshot. Yeah, of course, itoccurs only in the beginning of the game, later with all dmg upgrades its possible, but that's not the point. I understand widow slow reloading. It have hell of a punch, can penetrate enemies and slow reloading just seems fine with widow. But mantis? They sped up reloading of all guns, but slowed mantis down? And by any means, i'm not trying to rage, i'm completely fine with it. And i understand that the slow reloading speed was implemented to fit cloak cooldown. But it's just a thought - wouldn't mantis be better and sexier with me2 reloading speed?
